About the evening

Hear the history in the music.

Join Jamie Laval for a look at how music traveled from Scotland to Appalachia and changed along the way. With live fiddle demonstrations, Jamie will explore the connections and differences among Irish, Scottish, old-time, bluegrass, and newgrass music.

Come for the history, the music, or a little of both.
